Our published Private Pilot Training Package estimate is $9,400, paid lesson by lesson: 30 hours of dual instruction, 10 hours solo and 10 hours of ground at a $165 per hour block-time aircraft rate plus $70 per hour for instruction. How often you fly is the biggest factor in the final number.

· Training
A Sport Pilot certificate takes a minimum of 20 hours and uses your driver’s license in place of an FAA medical; a Private Pilot certificate takes a minimum of 40 hours, needs a third-class medical, and lets you fly any airplane you are rated in. At Pilot Training Las Vegas you can earn either in the same Piper Cherokees.

North Las Vegas Airport has an operating control tower, Class D airspace under the Las Vegas Class B, a practice area close by, and flying weather almost all year. Students who train here handle a towered field, real crosswinds and density altitude from the first lesson.
